UEFA to refund Liverpool fans caught up in Champions League final chaos

UEFA have taken the decision to refund all Liverpool fans who were caught up in the chaos outside the Stade de France at last season's Champions League final.

The 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in Paris was overshadowed by scenes outside the ground hours before kick-off when fans were attacked by local thugs, tear-gassed by French police and quarreled into unsafe spaces for hours as they queued to get into the stadium on May 28 last year.

In the subsequent days that followed, the French authorities tried to blame thousands of ticketless fans, claims that have since been disproven with Liverpool supporters hailed for averting a disaster by remaining calm during the mayhem outside the venue.
